A Labour MP recently joked that Adam and co at Section D would do better than certain world leaders in sorting out some of the current international chaos.

The trouble is, Section D’s modus operandi is always so… chaotic.

There’s a respite, you might think, in the Iranian nuclear crisis when representatives of the UK, US and Iran assemble for a live TV broadcast to announce a peace accord.

If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is – Iran’s figurehead is Special Consul Bakhshi, who’s taking part because his incarcerated but still very much alive wife has been made to put pressure on him.

What will Adam say when he finds out?

First, though, there’s a lot of the usual rough stuff to be dealt with when armed infiltrators storm the TV studio.
